A concentration aid that stops your imagination running away with you when you want to concentrate on a certain task. Before you begin the task, you tell the machine (in a crisp, clear tone) what the task is.... "WORK" or "COOK EGGS" or "SLEEP" - then you begin the task. Meanwhile the machine detects
when your mind's drifting off on one by detecting pulse rate, breathing, and brain activity monitor that tells you when your right hemesphere (or is it left?) is motoring too hard for the job in hand.
It then reminds you of what you're meant to be doing by flashing lights, sirens and playing back your initial vocal command repeatedly and VERY loudly until you start concentrating on the job in hand again. woowoowoo WORK WORK WORK WORK woowoowoo etc (if it's sleep it could do it quietly and hypnotically). And if the wandering mind persists the volume would increase and electric shocks could also be administered.
Hey Presto - Instant concentration.
Now, what was I doing...

I'm afraid I'd accidentally end up hitting the device with a hammer, over and over until it shut up. |
|
| |
and wouldn't that be great if it was the task you wanted to concentrate on! |

WIBNI for faceache - happy new year 2002 sweety,
think of something useful dear - looking forward to something more spectacular from you this year. |

Harrison Bergeron-esque, kind of, er, sorta' |

I would NOT recommend actually doing this, but some friends of mine swear that Ritilin, when ground up into a powder and snorted like cocaine, has the effect that you are seeking. |
|
| |
thinking about it further, faceache, a device to keep you focussed would be good. No access to the .5 bakery at work would be a definite start. A virile muscular and oiled taskmaster standing over me with a whip might help too, er, no probably not! |
|
| |
I'd probably be able to deal with snorting Ritalin without my mind wandering - for a bit anyway.
po - the .5bakery *is* my work. Is the oiled taskmaster yours? |
|
| |
Seems like it could get stuck in a loop if you told it to
keep you calm, or un-annoyed D: |
|
| |
the end is noble and i for one need it, but your means???
i vaguely remember seeing something about electromagnets over the temporal lobe as a concentration aid. or was that a day dreem. |
